Recently I entered a contest to win the honor of having one of my portraits on a wine label for a local winery. Mutt Lynch winery of Healdsburg, California holds this annual contest open to any dog artist in America and Canada. There were 77 contestants. There were many really great pieces of art in this contest. In other words the competition was stiff! The public had 1 week to go into a web site and vote for their favorite piece. This is how they determined the top 10. After the top 10 were chosen they had 3 judges choose the final winner. The judges were the winery owner, the label designer, and a women who runs the site dogarttoday. I was very pleased to make the top 10 as the public and my family and friends all supported me. Thanks to everyone! This is the portrait I submitted . It was titled “winemaraner”
